Dellroy Village Council, Jan. 13 meeting

KEY ACTION Council voted 3-1 in favor of adding an additional employee to the village marshal's office.

DISCUSSION Seth Berresford was present at the meeting to request that he be reassigned to the marshal's department. Berresford was previously employed by the village but had left when he relocated his residence to the south.

Councilman Don Williams told council he does not understand why, in looking over the past two months of marshal's office reports, there were only four traffic stops. Williams said he does not feel that the intended job is getting done.

Council discussed the matter and agreed that more action needs to be taken to control the traffic issues in the village. Williams asked what the marshal's department costs the village and it was approximated at around $20,000 per year.

Treasurer Amy Graham discussed the final revenue and appropriation budgets. New income of $82,246 is expected, with $126,029.25 being appropriated.

Graham also reported on the research she has been doing to reduce the village's telephone and Internet expenditures.
